The opportunity
This role owns how Unity runs across the XR ecosystem: headsets, mixed reality devices, and whatever comes next.

You'll set the platform roadmap, negotiate directly with global hardware partners, and work hand-in-hand with engineering and R&D to keep Unity's XR capabilities ahead of the curve. This is a high-visibility role with real influence - your decisions will shape what millions of creators can build.

Short-term: stabilize and expand XR platform support, build strong partner relationships, and close critical dependency gaps. Long-term: position Unity as the go-to engine for next-gen XR and AI-assisted creation.

What you'll be doing

• Own the XR platform roadmap - analyze market trends, identify emerging platforms, and make the case for where Unity invests for maximum creator impact
• Negotiate with global hardware partners and navigate deep internal dependencies to keep platform-level stability a top priority
• Author high-stakes strategy documents and stay close to the technical details of Unity's interaction with XR hardware
• Partner with R&D to shape how AI-driven authoring and internal tooling evolve engine support for XR platforms
• Represent Unity's platform vision externally - at XR industry conferences and in strategic overviews for partners and customers

What we're looking for

• Proven track record shipping complex, technical products - middleware, OS, developer tools, or large-scale platform integrations
• Experience managing external partner relationships and influencing internal stakeholders across a large organization
• Technical fluency in APIs, rendering pipelines, and hardware abstraction - comfortable going deep with architects and engineers
• Ability to untangle complex cross-functional dependencies and drive execution from strategy to shipping
• Exceptional written and verbal communication - can distill technical roadmaps into compelling narratives for any audience

You might also have

• Hands-on familiarity with Unity or another major game engine
• Experience integrating AI tools into developer or creative workflows
• Background in developer advocacy, conference speaking, or partner-facing platform evangelism
